  If you are single and have married friends, . . .

  by compound complex in

  2. friends

  is your sense of loneliness (if you are lonely) heightened when you see what they share?

  how do cope (if you are coping) with a sense of isolation, of not having a significant other?.

  i know some single persons who are very happy as they are.

  Thank you, my friends, for answering my questions, often in detail! I don't feel so alone now.

  Loneliness doesn't necessarily mean sadness. Singleness can be a choice. Married couples often are miserable . . .

  Love,

  Thank you, Magwitch, Holden and Stan, for your perspective: enlightening, to say the very least.

  I'm already seeing that my own situation has hardly been intolerable. I manage on all levels, and I acknowledge your comments on the difficulty inherent in relationships, even when there is good compatibility.

  Gratefully,

  Thank you, Doc.

  I, personally, can relate to what you have written. Some have not tried again, however.

  Hope springs eternal?

  I know some single persons who are very happy as they are. Likewise, I know some miserable couples. We all know what the apostle Paul said on this subject so I'll skip that!

  Your thoughts and personal experience are welcome, whether YOU are a couple or you are single.

  Thanks.

  My Day's Long and Arduous Journey

  this, my day's long and arduous journey, is winding down as infinite night gracefully descends and takes me into her welcomed embrace.. i have no reason to fear the inevitable, my transition into a higher and more glorious estate than was allowed me upon this beautiful but angst-filled habitation.. what must be borne with calm, with dignity, with rejoicing, has been prepared for me from earliest times.

  its accomplishment requires nothing of me .

  Today I awoke from dreams of nocturnal flight,

  Hoping they might take me through the day and

  Lift me skyward, though now awake.

  
  

  E'er a child at heart and full of hope, I left my perch

  And begged Icarus that he should hear my plea to

  Enter that realm where once he briefly sailed.

  
  

  Head bowed, I spoke my heart, cast my eyes toward

  The eternal sun and lifted off an earth that gave way

  To a boy who dared dream what could not be . . .

  How very kind of you, doofdaddy, to think of me and offer this beautiful poem.

  I relate to it on several levels and will read it again and again, allowing its simplicity and truth to sink deep within.

  Blessings and peace.

  I know why you are here.

  i was expecting you, but not so early in the day.. i saw you walk up to my neighbor fred's house last week while i was out getting the newspaper, once again tossed into the bushes by a careless newspaper boy.

  today, it's the usual routine of rising at dawn, fetching the paper from the bushes -- where else?

  -- and settling into my comfy, tattered wing back with the first of several cups of coffee.

  You love me as none other.

  You are mute in your expressions of love, for, truly, you possess no voice. Yet, your liquid eyes send a message in unassailably sharp relief, wordless paeans of love that penetrate into the inner recesses of my heart of hearts, darkened chambers that for too long were cold and insentient rooms of sheer nothingness.

  As Winter awaits patiently the thaw that Spring inevitably offers a frozen landscape, so, too, the barren landscape of my aching soul has warmed, has come ablaze by means of your soundless protestations of a love for me that I wished but never imagined.

  A man disfigured in body and soul awaits eternally, yes, in vain, for what you have offered me so generously, so without reservation, so without demands.

  Our eyes say love while lips mouth Eternal Love . . .

  One always hopes for better, but this one, this poor and lonely poet who rarely manages a rhyme, contents himself that the sun both rose and offered him warmth, albeit a thin and pale warmth this lonely winter's day.

  The waning day has become more somber, more gray, yet the advent of Sol's dipping below Earth's horizon fills me not with dread of looming Darkness, but reminds that on the morrow I shall have another chance at life . . . at love.
